After gaining the upper hand in the second round, before Li Dong could react, the cavalry began the third round of charge.

This was unexpected.

This Jin cavalry should have lost the upper hand in the second round of confrontation, it stands to reason that it should be to take a break or change the formation before charging, but I didn't expect this Jin army to be so brave, not even a slight adjustment, immediately rushed straight to their side.

Although Li Dong was puzzled in his heart, he didn't think much about it, how could there be a reason not to eat the meat sent to the door?

Li Dong saw that the Jin army still changed to a circle formation and rushed towards him, and he was slightly sure in his heart, so he shouted to his cavalry: "Change the swallowtail formation and meet the enemy." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Dong's Liang army also immediately executed the order, only to see that they were scattered in all directions, pulled into a swallowtail shape, the formation was cracked, and they did not concentrate their forces to deal with the barrel formation of the Jin army, in fact, whether it was the diamond-shaped formation or this round formation, it was a formation that made Li Dong very tricky.

When the Jin army attacked from the bottom up, it used a circular formation, focusing on defense, which could effectively avoid the bows and arrows on their own side, and secondly, it was conducive to using the defensive power of the shield cavalry to buffer their attacks to the greatest extent. When attacking from top to bottom, he used a diamond-shaped formation with high attack power, with lancers as the head, and used inertia and high speed to deal a heavy blow to his troops.

Li Dong was very helpless about these two methods, and he didn't come up with any good way to break the Jin army's attack strategy for a while. had to use the swallowtail array to consume the strength of the Jin army as much as possible, in order to maximize the benefits.

The soldiers and horses on both sides are coming and going, coming and going, and the scene seems to be very lively, but in fact it is just consuming time. Li Dong's cavalry did not have a way to hit the Jin army very effectively, and it seemed that the battle was in full swing, but in essence, it did not carry out a real short-term handover with the Jin army, and could only consume the Jin army in a very limited space.

Li Dong was fighting, but he already understood a little in his heart that this cavalry of the Jin Kingdom should not want to really fight with him, but seemed to want to entangle his team of cavalry, so that he could not get out.

Thinking of this, Li Dong was suddenly startled in his heart, and suddenly connected with the first horn just now, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had guessed something.

Li Dong did notice a trace of a strange atmosphere, this cavalry did not want to eat themselves, but they also didn't want to let themselves out, they just wanted to pester themselves, so what was the benefit of pestering themselves to Song Ruoyu and them?

He just came to investigate the enemy's situation, if Song Ruoyu wanted that he couldn't go back to report the situation, he was afraid that Song Ruoyu might have come up with some tricks. The more he consumes himself here, the more dangerous Huang Xiu's army may be.

The more Li Dong thought about it, the more nervous he became, and after hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind in his heart, saying that he couldn't continue to spend anything here with this group of Jin troops, and if he continued like this, it would be the result of losing both.

After Li Dong finished thinking about it, he shouted loudly to his cavalry: "Listen to my orders, the whole army retreats." ”

As soon as Li Dong's words fell, the Liang army quickly maintained a tight formation, formed a whole, and quickly withdrew towards his rear base camp.

Not only Li Dong, but I am afraid that the soldiers of the Liang army have vaguely guessed a few points in their hearts at this time, although this group of Jin cavalry is fighting with them, it seems that they don't want to fight with them, and they are deliberately avoiding their own attacks several times, as if they are dragging themselves.

Therefore, when Li Dong gave the order, the officers and men of the whole army also followed Li Dong's order, no longer fell in love with the war, and went directly to Huang Xiu's army in his rear, and he must report the current unbelievable situation to Huang Xiu.

The strange horn, the strange cavalry, and the army of Song Ruoyu, who had not yet appeared.

There are many doubts, which have always plagued Li Dong's heart, and Li Dong is puzzled.

Li Dong has had this feeling before, that is, he has also experienced such confusion in several encounters with Song Ruoyu.

But just when Li Dong's 3,000 Liang troops were about to gallop away, the Jin cavalry on the opposite side did not agree.

As soon as they saw that Li Dong's army was about to retreat, they all picked up the bows and arrows on their backs and shot at Li Dong's team fiercely.

Li Dong's formation is very tight, and he can deal with it freely, but it is precisely because of the blind insistence on integrity and standardization that the entire formation cannot have the slightest omission, for the Liang soldiers who strictly implement the order, the tightness of the formation also restricts their ability to adapt to the situation, and the overly dense formation also makes the feather arrows of the Jin army can easily shoot every Jin army soldier.

The entire cavalry of the Jin army was like a live target, and people continued to die tragically under the arrows flying in the sky, falling off their horses, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

As soon as Li Dong saw this battle, he made up his mind, and immediately ordered: "Don't panic, the whole army disperses and continues to retreat." ”

Although the Jin army was panicked by this arrow for a while, after all, it was a battle-hardened soldier, and he suddenly calmed down, and when he heard Li Dong's order, he scattered all of a sudden, and he would not be easily shot by the feather arrows in the sky under the formation of maintaining a basically stable formation, so that the losses of the Jin army were also greatly reduced.

The Liang army was also slightly stunned when he saw that the Jin army was still maintaining strict discipline under the panic, and then began to pursue the retreating Jin cavalry.

The Liang army was like a dogskin plaster, firmly holding the Jin army that had just run not far away, they did not use the conventional pursuit method, but outflanked both sides, like a fist tightly wrapped the Jin army, the formation was tight and neat and scattered and not scattered, very imposing.

Liang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and its cavalry is not as good as the Jin army, and it is not the most elite cavalry of Liang that attacked, so the speed of the horses is of course not comparable to the elite of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and gradually it was chased by the Northern Jin cavalry.

This made Li Dong more sure of the idea in his heart, that group of Northern Jin Dynasty people must have come to drag their bait, in order to make it impossible for him to easily go back and report to Huang Xiu.

This must be Song Ruoyu's trick again.

When Li Dong thought of this, he was even more anxious.

Li Dong was helpless, and repeatedly ordered the whole army to disperse to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, but the effect was not good. In this way, the strength of the army is weaker, and it will be easier for the Liang army to surround a few small pieces of the Jin army, which makes the retreat of the Jin army slower and the efficiency is greatly reduced.

When Li Dong saw this battle, he had no choice but to order the soldiers and horses to fight with the Liang army on the one hand, and slowly withdraw towards the base camp of the other side. Although this does not work very well, there is no way out.

Although this Jin army's style of play seems to be on top, in fact, the threat to the Jin army is very small. The soldiers of the Liang army also knew that they should get rid of the entanglement as soon as possible at this time, but as soon as they touched the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, the cavalry slipped away like a loach in a quagmire, and when they were just a little relaxed, they came over to harass themselves from time to time, making them both angry and uncomfortable.

According to Li Dong's temper in the past, Mo said that it was these 3,000 cavalry, even if there were tens of thousands of iron cavalry here, he dared to sacrifice his life to fight. But now the situation is different, he knows that this must be Song Ruoyu's arrangement, he has been fighting with Song Ruoyu for many years, and he knows that Song Ruoyu must have stopped him for a reason. And as long as he is not stopped by him, then Song Ruoyu's plan will not succeed.

He has fought on the battlefield with Lin Yi for many years, has seen too many battles, and is well versed in the way of using troops, knowing that at this time, he must not act rashly, and a small mistake may bring a decisive change to the entire battle situation.

He didn't dare to gamble with these 3,000 iron cavalry, even if he could quickly solve this team of cavalry and then go back to recover his life, Li Dong didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of his three army soldiers and Song Ruoyu, it was too risky.

Just when Li Dong led the army to retreat like this, suddenly there was an extremely bright horn sound from the rear, the sound was melodious, straight into the sky, this Li Dong's army was frightened by this incomprehensible horn sound, and even the speed of the evacuation was a little slower.

When Li Dong heard this, he secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, and he suddenly seemed to know something, and he actually shouted at the army regardless of face: "Quickly retreat, go and rescue the general." ”

When the soldiers under his command were still entangled with this group of difficult Jin cavalry, when they heard Li Dong's words, they were also a little confused, Huang Xiu had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, how could he still need his own 3,000 cavalry to rescue?

His subordinates couldn't figure it out, but Li Dong figured it out, there was a reason for the three horns in succession, the first horn came from the Song Ruoyu camp, but it was actually not an order to attack, but to remind this group of cavalry in front of them, asking them to prepare to attack themselves.

The second horn seemed to be the order for this cavalry to charge, but it was actually a reminder, reminding Song Ruoyu's army to prepare for action.

Although he was on the high ground, when the cavalry charged, his attention was all attracted by this group of cavalry, and he did not send anyone to inquire whether there was Song Ruoyu's army on the western flatland. If his guess is correct, Song Ruoyu's army should have bypassed his own line, and did not take the bare jungle in the east, but brazenly advanced from the flat land, this group of cavalry is responsible for attracting their attention and dragging their own, their mission should be to cover Song Ruoyu's army from the flat land to safely cross the plain, and go around their rear to fight Huang Xiu directly.

This flat land is very wide and cannot be seen, but because the march here is too exposed, Li Dong did not send anyone to investigate in advance, and he wanted to come back to investigate but was entangled by the Jin army. Then Song Ruoyu dared to use this trick just because of this step.

Needless to say, this last sound must have been the clarion call of Song Ruoyu's army to attack Huang Xiu.

Li Dong seemed to understand this Song Ruoyu's plan in a few moments, and he was also very panicked, and he didn't care to explain so much to the soldiers, so he yelled at them, and from time to time used his long knife to directly hack to death several enemy soldiers in front of him.

When Li Dong was about to fight a bloody way back to rescue, the Jin army over there suddenly blew the horn, and then the cavalry around Li Dong's army shouted in unison, and then quickly assembled the whole team, went around in circles, quickly broke away from the battle formation, and retreated straight towards Song Ruoyu's camp.

Li Dong wanted to chase but was powerless, he didn't dare to give the order to pursue, the situation was critical, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered the whole army to retreat quickly and rush back to Huang Xiu's army as soon as possible.

Huang Xiu is a yellow-haired boy with no battlefield experience, his opponent is a dignified dragon, Song Ruoyu.
